Western Europe

There are various definitions for what constitutes western Europe, including those of the Cold War period and the United Nations one. In this gallery we simply mean the group of westernmost countries of the European continent. Some of these countries are in the Greewich time zone, while others are in the Central European time zone. With the exception of the southern countries of this group who are currently in a phase of economic crisis, these countries have highly developed and strong economies and a very advanced development status.
